The Vision Crisis No One Wants To Talk About
Has your vision deteriorated sharply over the past couple of years?
If the answer is “yes,” you are probably another victim of a global health crisis that eye doctors refuse to acknowledge…
I’m talking about a condition called quarantine myopia – a health crisis caused by Covid restrictions and the hours we were forced to spend inside during the lockdown.

How to Start Teaching Your Kids About Social Media
On May 9, the American Psychological Association (APA) released its first-ever guidelines for teen social-media use: a collection of 10 recommendations for kids, parents, platform creators, and lawmakers to heed for kids’ health online and offline.

(Read them all here.)
Basic as they may seem, the guidelines offer soluti...

Time was, nobody gave much thought to the town of Boca Chica, a little community at the toe of Texas, hard up against the Gulf of Mexico. Distinguished mostly by its proximity to the city of Brownsville, the county seat of Cameron County, Boca Chica was the site of the Civil War battle of Palmito Hill, is home to a state park, a public beach, and a nearby ship channel and, well, that’s about it. Or that was about it—until nine years ago.
Today, Boca Chica is where the future of human space flight is being shaped. And as early as Wednesday, April 19, the town will have distinguished itself as the place from whic...

Horse nations: Animal began transforming Native American life startlingly early
Scattered across the prairie east of the Colorado Front Range are rings of ancient stones. The rings were used to anchor tipis, and they measure barely 2 meters across. Matt Reed, the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma’s tribal historic preservation officer, says that tiny footprint comes as a surprise to modern Pawnee, whose traditional tipis are big enough to fit whole families.
